Scene
Sexy boutique property suitable for romantic getaways
Mainly attracting couples on romantic getaways, this chic boutique hotel has a sexy, sensual vibe that's suitable for lovebirds seeking an intimate stay in the Eternal City. Upon entering, lilac walls and mood lighting set the tone in the reception area, while further in, simple white walls and wooden floors are gussied up with purple hues. Low velvet seating is set against a large violet piece of art on the wall. Display cases throughout the lobby area offer a selection of candles, massage oils, and erotic accoutrements. With guest room names like Dangerous Curves and Sexy Machine, the vibe verges on cheesy and kitschy, but the boutique property gets great reviews from guests who comment on the stylish contemporary guest rooms, modern amenities, and friendly, hospitable staff. Overall, it's a great choice for a romantic weekend, but families traveling with kids should book elsewhere.
Location
Convenient central location close to Spanish Steps and within walking distance of Trevi Fountain
The hotel occupies a convenient central location that's great for tourists who want to explore Rome on foot. The Spanish Steps are just a five-minute walk away, plus several other top attractions are within walking distance, including the Trevi Fountain (seven-minute walk), the Pantheon (15-minute walk), Borghese Gallery and Museum (17-minute walk), Piazza Navona (20-minute walk), and the Colosseum (26-minute walk). The Spanish Steps area is full of luxury shops as well as dining options. The nearest metro station is just a three-minute walk away, giving access to other top sites like Vatican City (about 20 minutes away). Rome's Termini train station is about 15 minutes away via public transportation.

Rooms
Romantic, modern rooms offer flat-screen TVs, free minibars, Nespresso machines, and soaking tubs (whirlpool in some)
With names like Electric Love, French Kiss, and One More Time, guest rooms are decidedly sexy and romantic. Most have large round beds and in-room soaking tubs. Decor differs among the rooms, but many feature white and cream hues paired with purple, plus plenty of rose petals or red chili peppers sprinkled atop beds. Furniture is sleek and contemporary, and most rooms have hardwood floors. A number of modern amenities are offered, including flat-screen TVs, Nespresso coffee machines, free minibars, electronic safes, and free Wi-Fi, plus most rooms also come with iPads.Bathrooms are sleek and modern, though they don't offer much privacy -- tubs (large whirlpool tubs in some rooms) and walk-in rainfall showers are not separated from the bedrooms. Toiletries like soap, shampoo, and body lotion are not individually packaged but stored in small bowls for environmental purposes -- a worthy effort, but some guests dislike this method of storage. All bathrooms have bidets, magnifying mirrors, and hairdryers. Mini discoballs in some showers are a fun touch.
